Who Turned Out The Light? Conclusion

Matt. 5:16, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

What are we to do? What can we do? We must have the wind of the Holy Spirit to rekindle His flame of fire in the churches. We must recognize where we have left the perfect path and correct our course.  We must confess that we have missed the mark which Christ has established for us. We must come together in repentance and rebuild the wall, stand in the gap and close the breach of God's divine protection around His people. Disobedience must be purged from the Body. We struggle with our choices because we have chosen our way over God's way. God made provision in the Garden of Creation for every need imaginable in the life of man. Man chose his own way laying aside the provision of God. You can't have God's provision and walk in man's way. God's way brings God's provision. We must get back to “...Speak Lord for thy servant heareth..,” 1 Sam. 3:9.

What is standing in our way? What do we need to correct to make things right with God? Do we want God's provision, blessing, and protection? Then we must get rid of anything that separates us from His perfect plan for our lives. We must get rid of the trash or refuse. Refuse is what we throw away. It is anything that doesn't have its beginning, blessing, and completion in God. If it doesn't bring honor and glory to God, we need to dispose of it. Beware of “uncommanded work.” The necessary work is the work God has commanded. All else is disposable and is a distraction.

We must identify the areas where we have fallen short, make the necessary adjustments and Jesus will give us victory. Honesty and openness are the stone and mortar of God's fortification around us. Honesty and openness turn the light on. It dispels the darkness and takes away the hiding place for unbelief. As long as unbelief can hide in darkness it is a powerful force. But once the light of TRUTH is turned on, unbelief is exposed and dethroned. It falls powerless behind us, no longer preventing us from moving forward into the glory God has prepared for a victorious people. 2 Cor. 2:14, “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ,..”

Jesus Christ will preserve His Bride, the Body of Christ. Right now she is scattered among church congregations all over the world but He has already begun to sound the alarm. John 10:27, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
